A group of organizations in Canada, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United States has come together to focus on what CBHL schools worldwide have in common and to define universal principles and good practices that will help guide these schools. These International Guidelines were developed in 2021 by representatives of heritage language school communities, organizations, associations, and initiatives.
